This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can

Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt Consult the diagrams on pages 54 and 55 for specific information on the following changes. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Change the lead connections to the main motor and to the table hoist motor. 3. Replace the RA-30 (230V) overload relay with the provided RA-30E (460V) overload relay. 4. Switch the “R” wire on the transformer from the 230V to the 460V terminal. 5. If using a plug, install a proper UL/CSA list

Feed Rate The planer is equipped with selectable feed rate rollers that feed stock at 20, 25 or 30 feet per minute. To adjust speed, rotate the lever shown in Figure 4. IMPORTANT: Change feed rate only while the machine is running. Belt Tension 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Remove the lower rear panel and use the Figure 4 four hex nuts on the motor mount to adjust belt tension. See Figure 5. Adjust motor plate up or down until correct belt tension is achieved. To l

2. Remove the top left side panel so that you can rotate the cutterhead using the belts. 3. To remove a knife insert, unscrew the flat head screw with a spline screwdriver, or the air-operated screwdriver using one of the provided T-20 spline bits. If the screw will not budge, place the hole of the breaker rod (A, Figure 7) over a spline bit (B, Figure 7) and lightly tap the breaker rod counterclockwise with a hammer to break loose the screw. 4. Remove the flat head screw, and remove

To provide proper drive, the infeed roller should be set so that the bottom of its arc is 1/16” below the arc of the cutterhead knife inserts. The infeed roller is under spring tension and this tension must be sufficient to feed the stock uniformly through the planer without slipping but should not be so tight that it causes damage to the boards. The tension should be equal at both ends of the roller. To adjust the infeed roller: 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. P

A chipbreaker set too low or with excessive tension may prevent stock from feeding into the machine. Pressure Bar Most planing problems can be traced to improper setting of the pressure bar. Its function is to hold down the material after it passes under the cutterhead and throughout the remainder of the cut. Its basic setting is to be in line with the arc of the cutterhead knives. If it is too high, a shallow “clip” will occur at each end of the board. If it is too l

The table rollers are adjusted at the factory. If they should need further or “fine” adjustment: 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Loosen lock handle and position the quick- set lever (Figure 12) to zero. 3. Use a dial gauge (not provided) to find the distance from table top to the apex of the table roller. Zero the gauge at this position. 4. Place the gauge over the extreme right side of the table roller and find the high point of the table roller arc. The g

3. Loosen the three socket head cap screws (A, Figure 15) beneath the table. 4. Place a rod-like object (such as a hex wrench) into one of the open holes (B, Figure 15) and turn the shaft (C, Figure 15) to raise the table until the gauge reads the proper measurement. Or, the same effect can be achieved by lowering the other side of the table. 5. Re-tighten the socket head cap screws (A, Figure 15).

Feed restriction can also occur due to pitch buildup on the table. Be sure the table surface is clean. Dusting the surface with talc occasionally will aid in smoother feeding and help prevent pitch buildup. Clip Marks If clip marks occur 6” (152mm) in from each end of the board, the pressure bar is too high. See Figure 16. Turn both right and left hand adjusting screws (see Figure 11) the same amount, 1/4 turn clockwise or less, and take another 1/16” (1.59mm) deep cut. Re-ex

Twisting If material twists while feeding through the planer, either the table rollers, pressure bar, or outfeed roller may be out of level. Refer to adjustment settings on pages 14 and 15. Halted Feeding If the infeed roller takes the stock, the chipbreaker lifts, and just as you hear the knives contact the material, the workpiece stops feeding; then the pressure bar is too low. Re-set the pressure bar (see page 15). Operation NOTE: For detailed explanation of

The recommended lubrication for roller chains used in medium to slow speed operation is to simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an appreciable buildup of dust, dirt or wood shavings, use an oil cloth but never pour the oil directly on the chain. Over-oiling defeats the purpose of the lubrication, since it tends to invite the collection of dust, shavings, etc. and works into members of the chain. This hastens wear and leads to premature replacement. The bearings on the cutterhea
